Simplicity in Innovation
Anatomy & Cell Biology Faculty Dr. Silvia Penuela is the lead author and Dr. Lauren Flynn is a collaborator, behind a new study suggesting that a deletion of the Panx1 gene in the early stages of development of mouse fat cells increases the amount of fat accumulated, leading to a higher risk for obesity later in life.
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology. I completed a BSc degree at Queen’s University in Kingston, and subsequently pursued a PhD in Anatomy and Cell Biology at Queen’s. I then completed post-doctoral training at the University of Kansas Medical Center prior to joining Western in 2015.
I am a PhD student in the department of Anatomy & Cell Biology, working under the supervision of Dr. Sandrine de Ribaupierre and Dr. Roy Eagleson. Having a collaboration between the fields of anatomy and engineering, our lab focuses on usability and implementation of augmented and virtual reality systems in neurosurgery. Using simulation as a testing backbone, we aim to establish the core competencies and skills that govern surgical performance, including depth perception, object targeting, task complexity and procedural performance metrics. We believe this knowledge to be the cornerstone to evidence-based medical education in spatially-complex surgical procedures.
